Although Yang Ji has lived in two lives, in his previous life as a teenager, he was a top student who listened to his teachers. From elementary school to graduate school, he never fell in love. After graduation, he found that all the women who wanted to get married were already married. The famous beauties are married, and the rest are non-marriageists who pursue hedonistic values.
In the fiercely competitive and cruel real society, marriages are also materialized and utilitarian; marriages that often require millions in betrothal gifts, cars and houses cannot allow a poor boy to have too many wild love fantasies. Although there were many women he slept with later on, they were all transactions that had nothing to do with emotion.
Therefore, the blank emotional experience in his previous life was of no help to Yang Ji in this life. But fortunately, he doesn't need to chase girls bit by bit in his life.
Now that they have a marriage contract with Xiao Ying, the two of them can skip a lot of difficult processes and get straight to the point of talking about marriage. Faced with this fact, both of them subconsciously regard each other as inseparable. part. Therefore, after Xiao Ying, who has no concept of free love, and Yang Ji, who has a concept of love without considering it, made a good first impression, after half a day of tentative contact, communication became smooth and smooth. Although they have not yet reached the point of being inseparable, when the two appeared in front of Yang Zhao, Yu Wenshiji, Wei Shi, and Yang Feixu in a smooth and perfect manner, the four of them were stunned and did not realize the engagement and their relationship at all. The gag was first used, and everyone laughed and said that they had witnessed a beautiful marriage that fell in love at first sight.
After parting ways with Xiao Ying, Yang Ji took ten maids and their families back to the palace, handed them over to the chief steward Gongsun Huan, then hummed a song and walked briskly to the back house to find the unreliable man. Mother.
I was surprised to find that I had replaced my sword with needle and thread, and was embroidering stitch by stitch.
"Auntie." Yang Ji stepped forward to say hello and asked in surprise: "You can actually embroider?"
"Of course!" Dugu Min said proudly, "I have a lot of abilities. Come and take a look."
Yang Ji strode over, took the embroidered fabric from her, looked at it, and praised: "The fat goose embroidered by my mother is chubby and so cute."
The smile on Dugu Min's face froze, and he said angrily: "It's obviously a mandarin duck."
"Yes, yes, yes, I saw it wrong!" Yang Ji pointed at an ugly toad and said, "This frog is lifelike, especially its bouncing posture. It is lifelike and extremely similar."
Dugu Min's face flashed with anger: "It's clearly a dragonfly, don't you have eyes?"
"Sorry, I saw it wrong." I am probably unprecedented in being able to embroider a dragonfly into a toad. Yang Ji suppressed his laughter and said, "This big branch is lush with leaves..."
Dugu Min said with a dark face: "It's obviously a water bamboo, but where did the big tree come from? Are you blind or something?"
With a 'chi' sound, Yang Ji finally laughed out loud.
"Are you trying to make me angry?" Dugu Min was furious. He grabbed the embroidered bandage and smashed it against Yang Ji.
"嗳嗳 杨" Yang Ji dodge, and said with a desperate smile: "What happened to the embroidery? Women who can embroidery tens of millions, but a woman like A Niang, the clever, and intelligent women like A Niang, Count; compared to embroidery, a small profession that everyone knows how to do, a lady who can build a large business in the shopping mall and make suggestions for her son at home is truly amazing!"
Dugu Min's face looked a little better now, but she still said angrily: "Although I rashly got involved in embroidery that I am not good at, my embroidery is better than 90% of women."
"Yes, yes!" Yang Ji said against his will: "She can definitely embroider better than Xiao Ying."
"Huh?" Dugu Min's eyes were focused, and he was about to say something when he suddenly found a pouch (purse) on the ground. When he picked it up, he saw that the two colorful mandarin ducks embroidered on it were lifelike and vivid, as if they were alive.
Looking at the mandarin duck on the embroidered bandage in his hand, it was too horrible to look at.
"Where did you get the pendant?"
"This is a gift from Xiao Ying." Yang Ji complained endlessly. When his mother chased him, the bag accidentally fell out. This was nothing at first, but he just said that Xiao Ying's embroidery was not as good as my mother's. Now that she compared her, the advantages and disadvantages were immediately apparent.
Although I won't risk my life with him, I will definitely get angry.
Just as he was anxiously waiting for the storm to come, his mother didn't react at all. He only heard her say: "Although the embroidery is not as strong as mine, it is still quite good."
"???" Yang Ji was eye-opening. In his two lifetimes, this was the first time he heard that the criteria for embroidery were size, fatness, and thinness, rather than resemblance.
But then he thought about it, and Yang Ji suddenly realized: In fact, I also know that her embroidery is not as good as Xiao Ying, so she just compares her size.
She has won now and is happy.
As expected by Yang Jizhi, after Dugumin returned the pouch to Yang Ji, he no longer worried about whether the embroidery was good or bad, but asked with a smile: "The mandarin duck pouch embroidered by the girl is usually only embroidered for Future husband-in-law, it seems you are getting along well today?"
"It's pretty good." Yang Ji gave a thumbs up and said with a chuckle: "My mother has good taste. Xiao Ying is not only beautiful and noble, but also has a gentle temperament."
"That's necessary!" Dugu Min happily patted her son's shoulder and said in a sly tone, "Xiao Yatou is not only beautiful, but also has a good figure. Look at her plump and plump little buttocks. I knew she was a fertile girl.”
"(⊙o⊙)..." After getting along for nearly a day, Yang Ji naturally knew that Xiao Ying had a hot figure, and once she grew, she would definitely be a temptress. Although the question he thought of was different from that of my mother, it was the same. , all related to "being able to give birth".
"I wonder how good she is at running a house?" Dugu Min's beautiful face suddenly filled with worry, "I'm not afraid that you will lose your fortune, but I'm afraid that you won't be able to remember it because our shops are all over the place."
"A lot?" Yang Ji asked curiously.
Dugu Min nodded and said: "Quite a lot."
"We can't control it, isn't there still grandma?" Yang Ji said matter-of-factly.
Dugu Min said angrily: "What will you do if I die?"
Yang Ji said helplessly: "The problem is, you are not dead yet."
"You..." Dugu Min raised his eyebrows, "Do you think I deserve to be treated like a cow or a horse?"
"Then tell me, which parent doesn't do this?"
"I quit."
"It's best to do this, lest we forget it in the future." After so many years of battle of wits and courage, how could Yang Ji not know my mother's character? It is impossible for her to stay at home like other ladies.
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you." Dugu Min sighed, and suddenly said in a waning mood: "We have shops in Yongzhou and Liangzhou counties, and they are all running well, so I don't need to worry about them at all. I don't know what else I can do in the future. ?”
Yang Ji felt inexplicably sad and comforted: "Auntie, you can take care of your grandson and granddaughter at home from now on, teach them to read and teach them martial arts."
"Yes! Yes! Yes." When Dugumin heard this, he became happy again: "Tomorrow I will go to the Xiao Mansion to discuss the marriage with them. It is best to marry Xiaoying this year. In this case, next year I can I’m holding my fat grandson in my arms.”
"What if it's a granddaughter?" Yang Ji asked.
There was a serious smile on Dugu Min's beautiful face: "I will lock you two up until you give me a grandson."
"..." Yang Ji.
Dugu Min suddenly threatened: "If you have a wife and forget about your mother, I can't spare you, kid."
"Besides the world, my mother-in-law is the biggest." Yang Ji, who was sweating profusely, said quickly: "I bought you a unique skirt yesterday!"
Dugu Min said with a mixture of laughter and laughter: "It cost 320,000 yuan?"
Yang Ji was surprised: "How did Aniang know?"
Dugumin snorted: "That's our shop, and I had someone send me that skirt. Can I not know?"
"Our store?" Yang Ji looked at my mother in shock.
Dugu Min smiled and said: "That shop in the Jinxiu Clothing and Silk Shop area has the best location and the most prosperous business. It originally belonged to your brother, Prince of Shu. After he committed the crime, all the farms and shops outside were taken over by the royal family, but there was no one to run it, so It was closed for a while. By the time we closed down the store, its number one spot had been replaced by others. In order to regain the number one spot, I took that unique skirt and used it as the treasure of the store. I came here to enhance my reputation, but unexpectedly I was bought back by you. The story of you and Gao Ling's fight for wealth in Shunan Trading Company has spread throughout the capital. Haha, now it's hard not to think about it."
Yang Ji was surprised and happy and said: "It can be considered that I made a mistake. This skirt has completed its mission. From now on, my mother-in-law..."
"I don't want it!" Dugu Min shook his head: "You and Gao Ling have made it known to the whole city, no one knows about it. Can I wear it?"
"You can't sell it again, right?"
"No way!" Dugumin said: "I have thought about it. When I go to Xiao Mansion another day, I will give it to Xiaoying in your name. This will not only show how much we value Xiao Mansion, but also deepen the relationship between you two. .”
Yang Jim said with a smile: "This is a good idea, but I think it's more thoughtful."
Dugumin said suspiciously: "Isn't this your real plan?"
Yang Ji quickly shook his head: "I bought the skirt yesterday, and I only found out today that I have a fiancée. How could I buy it for her?"
"That's true!" Dugu Min stopped pursuing the matter.
"Aniang!" Yang Ji thought of something and suddenly laughed.
"What's the matter?"
"There is a huge deal, do you dare to do it?"
"As long as it doesn't break the law and makes money, I dare to do it. What kind of business is it?"
"I'll understand the market first, and then I'll tell you." Yang Ji dragged his mother into the study and asked in a low voice, "Is the land price in the capital expensive?"
Although Dugumin didn't understand what his son meant, he still said: "It depends on the location. If it's south of 'Yanxing Gate-Yanping Gate', it's not worth much, but the north is getting more and more expensive."
"Before Daxing City was established as the capital, there were fields and villas owned by owners. Did the court forcefully expropriate them, or replace or purchase them?"
"The land and houses of ordinary people have naturally been replaced. The land and villas of nobles were not only purchased by the court at high prices, but also compensated with fertile land in other places. Some even promised official positions." Dugu Min asked suspiciously: "What's the point of asking?"
"There is a huge business deal that is related to the destiny of the country that we can consider." Yang Ji did not sell out and said in a low voice: "Both my uncle and brother He have the intention to move the capital to Luoyang. I'm afraid they will move in a few years. As you see In other words, if you buy land now, you will definitely make a lot of money later.”
"Seriously?" Dugu Min said in shock.
"It's true!"
Dugumin asked: "Guanzhong is the core place of the Guanlong nobles, how could they agree to move the capital?"
Yang Ji pondered and said, "Uncle and brother may have some ideas."
"Son, do you know something?" Dugu Min knew that moving the capital would shake the foundation of the Guanlong nobles. How could the Guanlong nobles agree? And the son is so sure, it means that the emperor and his son are well prepared. Once the matter of moving the capital comes to the surface, it will definitely cause landslides and earthquakes. If not, Guanzhong, and even the whole world, will even have an impact. There was a great war and chaos.
"It seems that only my uncle, brother, and I know about it at the moment." Yang Ji nodded slowly and whispered, "I can't tell my mother-in-law yet."
"Mother doesn't ask, mother doesn't ask... don't tell mother either." Naturally, the fewer people Dugumin knows, the better, but her son has obviously fallen into the center of a huge whirlpool. I was so confused for a moment that I felt like my heart almost stopped beating.
